Report OF II. III. Savage ON the Rae
system.
Following is the original report eff r. H.
Savage, formerly Lieutenant Corps Engi-
neers U. S. Army, Of the Rae Ele ctric Sys-
tenn Of Metallurgy:
"SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 9th, 1887.
GEN. JAS. S. NEGLEY,
Nos. 40 & AZ Wall ST.,
New York City. N. Y.
GENERAL
have examined the DR.. julio H. Rae
Electric System of Metallurgy under your
directions of November 10th, 1887, and COW
cred the theory and practical workings.
l have inspected the machines now build.
ing here and visited Dayton, and Virginia
City, Nevada, (where a plant is to be ap
piled to Mr.. Mackay's Pan Mill) have had
access to the records and reports Of the four
mills now successfully working on the pro-
cess in California, Nevada, Utah and Mon.
tana; and report most favorabLy on the pos
tive and ~ndenta6le value of this intention.
All practice, reports, authorities chemical
and electric principles and general facts con-
firm the claim Of the inventor, and its value
relatively increases with the careless and
slovenly working Of ores where undue loss
of quicksilver or bullion affects the general
expenses Of milling
1t is simple, cheap and any accurate and
intelligent man can be trained in a month,
by the inventor, to take proper charge Of the
general process. Ihave verified the patents,
testimonials and printed matter, and endorse
them as to truth. The whole application of
electricity, (volt aic and dynamic), is com.
pletely covered by DR.. Julio H. Rae, las the
original inventory in the following United
States Patents, in order:
A No. 6IS66. Julio H. Rae, Feb. S, 1867.
B. No. 62776, Julio H. Rae. Mar. IL, 1867.
c No. S3oor, Julio H. Rae, Oct. 3, 1868.
Ono. 1899, Julio H. Rae, Feb. 20, 1872.
E No. 364372, Julio H. Rae, June 7, 1887
These FIVE patents cover the principle. the
current, the solutions, electrodes, agitation
and ev cry possible point, and impregnable
in priority, legality and originality, have
covered the whole field.
The properly regulated action of powerful
continued current Of dynamic electricity,
cheaply and safely generated, to the pulp,
restores the m ercury from Toured to glob

the process of reduction and decreases ex-
pense relatively and actually.
The thirty years experience Of DIR. Julio
H. Rae as father Of electric science as re-
CARDS metallurgy, and his early discovery Of
carbon applications, together with his ex-
tended knowledge of mines, ores, processes
and theoretical and practical metallurgy,
places him far above any man before the sci.
entihc public, and, in his department be-
tween the great Becquerell and the later Ed.
ison.
Every large mine will find great saving
and increase of output, due to this simple and
thoro ugh invention, speak of this apart
from the general inventive efforts OF DR..
Rse's talents, as special success to De ap-
piled everywhere with profit to all. Par,ic-
ularly in Central and South America, Mexico
and wherever great silver mines are operated,
there is peculiar value in this discovery to
which no one but DR.. Rae can lay claim.
recommend in all possible cases, his super
intendence of the plant and training of the
special employees.
This process increases bullion yield from
four to ten per cent. and saves forty to eighty
per cent Of the mercury usually lost, az
well as returning many chemicals. All this
at small relative charges and with no un-
uncertainty or great change of existing plant.
